Advocacy Masterclass: Non Instructed Complaints
Learn about the challenges of non-instructed advocacy (NIA) complaints and receive useful practical tips on how to go about making them. This will include reflecting on how to appropriately word and structure NIA complaints, as well as how to ensure they remain within advocacy boundaries so they most likely achieve positive advocacy outcomes. Participants will be expected to have already undertaken NIA training and/or had significant experience of advocating for young people on a non-instructed basis. Some prior knowledge of the Children Act complaints process will be useful.
Pathway Planning Masterclass
Take part in our one-hour masterclass aimed at giving a brief yet detailed snapshot on pathway planning for all children in care from the age of 16 and care leavers up to age 21/25. The session will explore what we can do as advocates to support young people in the process and how to challenge a poor plan.
Exploring Expertise: Objects and their stories
The objects around us are intertwined with our feelings and experiences. Exploring our relationship with objects can help us tell our stories and give us a greater understanding of other people and ourselves.

This webinar is designed for local authorities that may be new to the Outbound service and want to find out what we offer and hear some initial guidance on how to approach overseas placements. It is for local authority staff - both social workers and lawyers - who are involved in the placement of children currently living in the UK with kinship carers overseas on all legal orders. We will do a short presentation and then take questions.

Trauma-informed support for birth parents to end repeat removals
Pause is a national charity working to improve the lives of women who have had - or are at risk of having - more than one child removed from their care, and the services and systems that affect them. We want to make sure that women who experience or are at risk of the removal of children into care are given the best possible support, so that it never happens more than once.
